In a Venturi tube, the heights of the water columns in tubes A, B and C show the pressure
at X, Y and Z respectively as shown in Figure 2.47.
A B C The pressure at X is higher
than the pressure at Z because
water flows from X to Z.
Therefore, the height of the

Principle
The velocity of water depends on the cross-sectional area http://bit.ly/35IDnG6
of the tube. The smaller the cross-sectional area, the higher the
velocity of the water. From X to Y, the velocity of the water
increases and the water pressure decreases. From Y to Z, the Info GALLERY
velocity of the water decreases and the water pressure increases. When a fluid flows continuously in
Bernoulli's principle states that when the velocity of a fluid a pipe, the smaller the diameter
increases, the pressure in the fluid decreases and vice versa. of the pipe, the higher the velocity
of fluid.
